Every woman of the fair sex, who looks after her appearance, tries to pay attention not only to the figure and skin of the face, but also to her hair, which, as we know, is an integral part of the female image. Beautiful well-groomed curls emphasize femininity, give the exterior a highlight and add charm. However, many women know that to care for their hair is not enough to use one, even the most expensive and high-quality shampoo - in order to maintain their hair in excellent condition, an integrated approach is needed. And because most of the fair sex necessarily includes in the basic program for the care of curls additional tools, among which are particularly popular hair masks, purchased in a store or cooked on their own according to popular recipes. Moreover, the second option is most preferable for many, since home remedies are not only economical, but also as safe as possible, and in addition, they can be made of practically everything that is in the fridge of any housewife.
As a rule, such products are traditionally included in folk hair masks - vegetable oils, eggs, cottage cheese, sour cream, citrus juice and decoctions of herbs, but not uncommon components are often found in homemade recipes, one of which is vodka - strong alcoholic beverage obtained by mixing ethyl alcohol with water. Vodka is often used to make cosmetic blends for oily hair, because this product perfectly cleans hair from contamination and helps to get rid of greasy shine, and also disinfects the scalp, preventing dandruff, seborrhea and other dermatological diseases. If desired, the above-mentioned drink can also be used for dry-type hair, if you choose the right components. So what is the secret vodka masks?
The benefits of hair vodka
Many lovers of folk cosmetics with distrust treat vodka as one of the components of the masks, because this product does not contain any vitamins or fatty acids, or any other active substances. But at the same time, the alcohol that is part of this alcoholic beverage can have a very beneficial effect on the scalp and curls, and here's why:
- Ethyl alcohol has antiseptic and bactericidal properties, thanks to which the masks, which include this component, help to cure various dermatological diseases of the scalp caused by the saprophyte fungus and other pathogenic microorganisms.
- Another useful quality of alcohol is its ability to increase blood circulation in the cells, which, in turn, helps to improve the flow of oxygen and nutrients to the hair follicles.
- Alcohol, unlike other products often used to make homemade masks, rarely causes allergies (if the dosage is observed). At the same time, it has the ability to level the aggressive impact of related components and thereby reduces the risk of adverse reactions when using household mixes.
- Ethanol (ethyl alcohol) helps to eliminate fatty deposits on the hair, which is formed due to increased secretion of the sebaceous glands, as well as to dry the skin, which is especially useful in the presence of moist seborrhea and pustular rash.
- Alcohol (especially in combination with other irritating products) has a strong tonic effect on the skin of the scalp, and therefore dormant hair follicles awaken, hair growth is activated, and the curls themselves become thicker and more voluminous.
It should be noted that, despite the obvious benefits, vodka is quite aggressive and can cause discomfort in the form of itching, burning and increased dryness of the skin, and therefore the mask, which include this component, is not recommended for use with increased sensitivity of the scalp, and also in the presence of fresh cuts, wounds and other damages. In addition, you need to take into account that alcohol, although it helps to fight against excessive oily hair, but at the same time it can have a tonic effect on the cells of the epidermis, provoking even more active sebaceous glands, because of which curls can quickly become contaminated, becoming untidy view. For this reason, vodka masks should not be used too often, that is, such procedures should be carried out with short courses of 8-10 sessions with a break of one and a half to two months.

It is not difficult to use vodka hair masks, but in order for them to be truly useful, you need to know a few simple rules:

Despite the many advantages, the use of vodka in hair masks (as well as other homemade skin care recipes) should be taken carefully.
Consider contraindications to the use of masks from vodka for hair:
- Too much alcohol can dry out the skin and onions, causing brittleness, flaking, itching, and even hair loss. Therefore, it is important to comply with the mask recipe and know the number of "degrees" in vodka, which determines the capacity of pure alcohol. To reliably eliminate the effect of draining, use additional means to nourish and moisturize.

Rules for vodka masks
Because Since alcohol is a rather aggressive substance that can cause overdrying of the skin, its irritation and even burn, then it is necessary to use masks with its addition very carefully. We will describe the rules for creating and using such tools below:
- You should not hold vodka masks in the presence of open wounds on the skin, as well as cuts and scratches, otherwise you will have to endure the pain associated with the effects of alcohol on the damaged area of the dermis.
- Be sure to comply with the conditions and dosages prescribed in the recipe for the mask. The slightest deviation from the regulations is fraught with unpleasant consequences for the pre-root zone of the head and the curls themselves.
- Apply the mask to the dried (without a hair dryer) or slightly wet strands, while the temperature of the composition should be in the range of 30-35 degrees. Warming up the head with a plastic wrap and a soft scarf, scarf, hat or towel will help increase the efficiency of the components.
- It is necessary to withstand the mask for no longer than 30 minutes, otherwise irritation and other ailments may appear on the skin, but this rule does not apply to all masks.
- It is necessary to wash off the vodka masks with plain water, it is not necessary to use shampoo (except when there are oils and other badly washable ingredients in the product)
We remind you that with dry hair it is necessary to add oils to the composition of the vodka mask in order to mitigate the effects of alcohol. In addition, it is possible to carry out procedures with products based on alcoholic beverages only from the age of 12, since In children younger than this age, the dermis is more perceptive; when a child absorbs alcohol into the blood, the child may get poisoned.
